Description: In the upper half, a dying man is harassed by demons; a table nearby bears serving dishes, a jug and a backgammon board and a banner reads "Remain until the end;" below, a man dressed in vestments and a bishop's mitre dies peacefully, with two people looking on and a sign over the bed that reads "Come, Lord Jesus, come. Apoc. 22 (Revelation 22:20);" outside, a haloed man kneels with a banner that reads "I wish to be released and to be with Christ, 2. Cor. 5. The Latin superscription reads, "He wishes for death, whose mind is conscious of right," and the text below, "Who should not shake before the helplessness and danger of death? The one whose conscience virtue fills with sweetness".
